Colin Doherty, MD, FRCPI, FFESM

Educated at University College Dublin, Colin began his neurology training in Dublin and moved to Harvard Medical School in Boston to complete his residency and fellowship Training at the Brigham and Women’s and Mass General Hospitals. Colin set up Ireland’s young onset dementia clinic in St James’s hospital and it remains the only clinic of its type in the country led by neurology. He handed the clinic over to his colleague Dr Siobhan Hutchinson in 2011 to take on a project to reorganize epilepsy care nationally which in the 21st century has seen a massive increase in diagnoses in the older patient.
